[QUOTE=David29;28765566]I don't know. Is that an acknowledgement he exists? Regardless, since science cannot pinpoint the very first origin of everything, I can only say that I still remain open to the idea of some form of creator.[/QUOTE] The flaw with this argument is both "what created the creator" and the fact that it can be applied to anything and is quite ridiculous when you get down to it. Yes, science doesn't know everything nor do they have an explanation for everything.It's impossible to know all and it takes a ton of time ot figure everything out. We're working on it, but still.
Its quite nice that the human race knows that it will never fully ever be able to understand everything out there, yet still keeps going, even though its ultimately pointless.

Seriously, you people have an entire lifetime to do whatever the fuck you want, and you spend that lifetime trying to explain your own creation? I fucking pity you people if you really have nothing better to do than debate, no matter how much you guys fight each other, you all just turn out the same in the end. Just learn to accept each other and stop this nonsense. But I guess this will fall upon deaf ears as well, or pompus ears.

This is so good just think of all the wars that will never happen because of the whole "my god says you're wrong!" "No thats what MY god says aaghh."
I don't hope religion dies off. I just hope the annoying fundamentalists and radicals that try to force their opinions on you die off.

It's a battle of will and mind, and is a wholly enjoyable thing.

Why is it if someone has an opinion on this forum=/=thread you can't accept it, you have to bitch and argue and go out of your way to prove someone wrong so you can bask in your greatness, why don't you just chill the fuck out, relax, read the argument make valid points instead of the usual "You don't know jack shit about anything, because your dumb and wrong and I'm right you can't have an opinion here are my x points, see I'm right your wrong, I'm big your small blah blah"

[QUOTE=Treybuchet;28768774]He also perfectly described most religions.[/QUOTE] Kinda why it's fucking retarded to be fighting about something people will moan and bitch about until the end of time. I swear, when these people are geezers, they'll still be bitching about their beliefs.
Again, the reason is because debating is fun. There are some who do it because they are high and mighty and "must be right". But there are others who just enjoy debating.
[QUOTE=Kogitsune;28765870]Let's talk theory for a minute here. In modern religions, their magic book tends to tell us something along the lines of "Worship this God or else you go to hell." So which of these religions are correct? Is Judaism correct? Catholicism? Christianity? How about any of the variations of these religions? Are any of them correct? If we assume that failure to worship the correct God / Creator / Whatever results in eternal Damnation, how do we know if we already missed the boat? Were all those pagan religions wrong? Is there going to be a correct religion in the future that we haven't 'found' yet? If we have infinite time to discover new faith(s), it stands to reason we have an infinite number of God(s) who will Damn us for not following them if we make an incorrect decision or do something to displease them. On the opposite side we have atheism, where there is only one result with a certain outcome that doesn't depend on pleasing something you can't interact with in the physical world. You die and are not reborn. So why place a bet that is certain to be lost? You literally have a 1 in ∞ chance of being correct and securing your place in an afterlife or rebirth. The safest choice is still to accept that there is no correct bet and go with the only certain option. An interesting note: Sound familiar?[/QUOTE] Pascals Wager doesn't work, go read about it, god knows you are genuine and punishes you anyway, either way as I've previously said, I don't give a fuck.

Why do I only see Christianity and Islam being brought up in this thread? What happened to Buddhism, Hinduism or even Shamanism? Can anyone complain about the Dalai Lama and his deeds? Religions is so widespread, one really can't judge religion in general over one or two major religious groups/organisations and their actions.
